2010 Dodge Journey complaints

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS ENGINE STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND STARTER

VEHICLE RANDOMLY WILL NOT START. BRAKES GO STIFF. ALL LIGHTS RADIO ETC WORKS, CAR JUST REFUSES TO START (IT IS NOT EVEN ATTEMPTING TO START) AFTER A FEW HOURS CAR WILL START

TAKATA RECALL DRAINING BATTERY. HAD THE FUSE BOX REPLCE HELP THE TRAIN GO FROM DEAD OVER NIGHT TO LAST 1.5 DAYS BEFORE IT DIE. CHANGED CLUSTER. BEEN IN TWO SHOPS 2000$ WORTH OF LOOKING FOR THE CAUSE AND ITS STILL UNKNOWN. IT DOES DRIVE IF IT STARTS NO LIGHTS ON. NEW BATTERY ALTERNATOR IS OK SURPERTINE BELT AND PULLY SYSTEM IS FINE...CURRENTLY AT L V AUTO ON WEST MOSEL ROAD IN PARCHMENT MI

I STARTED MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I BEGAN TO GO AROUND A SHARP CURVE AND REALIZED I HAD LOST ALL POWER STEERING. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THEN ALMOST A BARRICADE. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO SOMEWHAT GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE AND 10 MONTH OLD BABY WERE ALSO IN THE VEHICLE. I LATER LEARNED THAT THE POWER STEERING RETURN LINE HAD RUPTURED. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A ISOLATED INCIDENT AND NOT A VEHICLE PROBLEM IF THERE WASN'T ALREADY A RECALL FOR OTHER DODGE JOURNEYS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

2010 DODGE JOURNEY WITH 20K MILES, HORN GOES OFF RANDOMLY, SITTING IN GARAGE OR DRIVEWAY, IDLE, NOT RUNNING. KEY FOBS ARE ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER. HORN BEEPS 1 - 3 TIMES, NOT STEADY OR UNIFORM. I'VE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP 5X, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND OF COURSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THERE. THEY'VE REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS FROM DOOR TO DASH ON DRIVERS SIDE AND PUT A HEAT SHRINK TUBE ON A WIRE + DIAGNOSTICS FOR $1,000. I FIND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB BUT NO RESOLUTIONS. THE DODGE "STAR" TEAM AND THEIR CUSTOMER CARE LINE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HELP AT ALL. (ZEIGLER DODGE IN DOWNERS GROVE, IL.)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO CRANK. THE DRIVER HAD TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL TO START THE VEHICLE, WHICH DID NOT ALWAYS WORK. MITCHELL AUTOMOTIVE (1522 US-45 ALT, WEST POINT, MS 39773, (662) 494-4344) WAS NOTIFIED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH/NEUTRAL RANGE SENSOR FAILED TO FUNCTION. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS CONTACTED FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V139000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE MY HOME AND THE HORN STARTED BLOWING ALL BY ITSELF. THIS CONTINUED NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED (PRESSING THE KEY FOB BUTTONS, PRESSING THE HORN MANUALLY, AND STARTING THE VEHICLE). WE FINALLY HAD TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT TO GET IT TO STOP. THE HORN BLEW SO MUCH THE NEIGHBORS CALLED THE POLICE THINKING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD SOUND AT RANDOM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION (3000 NORTH LAKE PARKWAY, COLUMBUS, GA 31909, (330) 238-3206) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW STEERING SYSTEM WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

I HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS, I PUT THE FOB IN , TURN THE KEY , THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON , THERE IS A CLICK , BUT IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. I CAN WAIT FROM A FEW MINUTES TO A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE IT WORKS AGAIN. THERE IS NO SET PATTERN AND WE HAVE HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED. IT LEFT US IN PARKING LOTS AT WORK BEFORE WHILE IT WONT START, CAUSING US TO BE LATE PICKING KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL AND EVEN AT THE STORE. LOOKING ONLINE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THERE IS THIS MANY OUT THERE WHY IS THERE NOT SOMETHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT?

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. STARTER SOUNDS LIKE IT'S STICKING AT START OF ENGINE THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE WE GOT THE VEHICLE. IN 2018 I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, AT ONE POINT WITH MY 5YR OLD DAUGHTER EXITING THE FREEWAY(A VERY SCARY AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE EXPERIENCE) REPLACED WATER PUMP AND TOP FRONT HOSE AFTER I FOUND PUDDLE OF FLUID FROM COOLANT TANK. OTHER WORK DONE ,REPLACED CV JOINTS, LOUD CLICKING WHEN SHARP TURNS WERE MADE AND SHOCKS AND STRUTS REPLACED. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AS IT DID BEFORE ALTERNATOR WAS FIXED. NOW I'M EXPERIENCING MORE ELECTRICAL ISSUES LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN, AC WILL BLOW AIR SOME TIMES AND OTHER TIMES NO AIR AT ALL. THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 20-30 MPH. GAS WILL NOT REV UP. GOING TO GET CAR TOWED TO THE MECHANIC TODAY TO DIAGNOSE . SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE MODEL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, WILL BE CALLING CHRYSLER AND DODGE DEALERSHIP.

MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY STARTED RECENTLY ITS NOT STARTING WHEN I TURN THE KEY IT JUST GOES CLICK. AFTER A WHILE IT MIGHT START OR IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL IT MIGHT START. THE HORN ALSO GOES OFF ON IT'S ON FROM TIME TO TIME . THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY THE TIMES IT WOULDN'T START BUT IT WAS BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING IN TRAFFIC WHEN HORN WENT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND WAS RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED AL SERRA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AT 810-202-0890 (LOCATED AT 6185 S SAGINAW ST, GRAND BLANC, MI 48439) AND WAS INFORMED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 112,000.

MY WIFE CAR KEEP STARTING ON ITS OWN. SHE WAS AT WORK A FEW TIMES AND HER COWORKER INFORMED HER HER CAR WAS RUNNING. THERE'S NO LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT WOULD SAY WHAT CAUSES IT.

FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS MY CAR HORN HONKS WHENEVER IT WANTS TO, IN TRAFFIC OR PARKED IN GARAGE. OTHER DRIVERS THINK I AM HONKING AT THEM (SO FAR NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I HAVEN'T ENCOUNTERED A DISGRUNTLED DRIVER). DODGE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR TWICE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON , THE AND LIGHT COMES ON AND THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES THE JUST FLASH OFF AND ON. THEN THE NEXT TWO TO THREE DAYS THESE LIGHTS ARE PERSISTENTLY ON AND THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO GO OVER 20 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR. TWO OF THE FOUR CYLINDERS SEEMS TO BE "MISFIRING" OR NOT FIRING AT ALL. ALL THESE THINGS ARE OBVIOUSLY HAPPENING WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE COMING TO A STOP SIGN OF TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUTDOWN. THEN YOU HAVE TO TRY AND JUMP IT OFF FOR IT TO CRANK AGAIN....IF IT WILL CRANK AT ALL. HAD TO TOW IT TO A GARAGE FOR REPAIR ON MARCH 24, 2019. REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR(FOR THE SECOND TIME), AND SPARK PLUGS.

WHEN INSERTING THE KEY FOB IN THE IGNITION SOMETIMES, THE CAR MAKES A CLICKING SOUND & WON'T START. TO GET THE CAR TO START WHEN THIS OCCURS, YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE & TURN THE KEY FOB & IT FINALLY STARTS - RIDICULOUS. THE KEY FOB WAS REPLACED WHEN WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE.AWHILE AGO. RECALL NOTICE #11V-139. THIS ISSUE IS VERY ANNOYING & NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED. *JS

RECALL - #R03 - WE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR THIS RECALL.

RECALL NOTICE - #S08 - WE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR THIS RECALL.

THE PASSENGER ACTIVE HEAD REST DEPLOYED WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE METAL CLIP INSIDE THE HEAD REST BROKE THE PLASTIC HOLDING IT. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY HAD A GUY COME AND TAKE PICTURES AND THEN A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE HEAD REST. IT'S A DEFECTIVE HEAD REST, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NO REASON AS TO WHY IT DEPLOYED AND BROKE.

HORN. THE HORN SOUNDS ARBITRARILY WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN NOT DRIVING. IT STARTLES DRIVER AND VEHICLES CLOSE TO DRIVER -- MAY CAUSE ROAD RAGE BY OTHERS ASSUMING YOU ARE HONKING AT THEM WHEN YOU ARE NOT. THE HORN HAS SOUNDED AT 2:00 A.M. WHEN NO ONE IS NEAR THE VEHICLE OR THE FOB. THE HORN HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED TO GET IT TO STOP. WHEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP, DODGE SERVICE CENTER IN STOCKTON, CA ADVISED THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, WHEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE MANY, MANY DODGE JOURNEY AND RAM OWNERS WHO COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE. FROM READING THE VARIOUS ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM, THERE DOES NOT APPEAR ANYONE WHO HAS SPECIFICALLY DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER HAVING TO DISCONNECT THE HORN FUSE, THE VEHICLE IS RENDERED UNSAFE TO THE OWNER, PEDESTRIANS, AND OTHER DRIVERS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO COMMON VARIABLE.

CARS HORN STARTS BEEPING WHENEVER IT WANTS. TRACTION CONTROL GOES OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS KEEPING US FROM GETTING CAR IN DRIVE. LOST POWER TO EVERYTHING WHEN DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. RETURN LINE OF POWER STEERING PUMP HAS RUPTURED 6 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. IT JUST DID IT AGAIN 1-20-2019. THE LAST RUPTURE WASTED THE PUMP.

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT DOES NOT WORK. ONLY BLOWS OUT COLD AIR IN ALL VENTS, DEFROST, FRONT AND FEET. CAUSES WINDOWS TO FOG UP AND BAD VISIBILITY AND ALSO DOES NOT KEEP YOU WARM. ALSO AT TIMES IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE THE HEAT CONTROLS SUCH AS FROM DEFROST TO FRONT OR FEET. HAPPENS NO MATTER IF CAR IS PARKED OR DRIVING. THE COLDER OUT IS IS THE WORSE THE PROBLEM. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE LIVING IN MINNESOTA. ALSO SERCHED GOOGLE AND THERE WERE 100'S OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS IN DODGE JOURNEYS ALL DIFFERENT YEARS.

HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF WHILE SITTING AND DRIVING. DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT! CREATES A MAJOR DISTRACTION FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD AND COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTS AND/OR ROAD RAGE INCIDENTS WHILE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN!

2010 DODGE JOURNEY - WON'T START - ELECTRICAL ISSUES - BATTERY IS GOOD BUT WON'T CRANK - TRIED DIFFERENT KEY - LOT'S OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS

AS A DODGE OWNER I BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION OR THE IGNITION KEY. THE CAR DOES NOT START IMMEDIATELY LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT IT IN A NORMAL WAY TO GET IT TO START. STARTS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR OR GET A JUMP STAR FORM A GOOD SAMARITAN, BUT IT WILL NOT RESPOND WITH A JUMP EITHER. IT HAS BEEN FRUSTRATED FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND IT WAS AN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR ABOUT A COUPLE MONTHS AND THE PROBLEMS WAS NEVER RESOLVED. NOW DAYS IT JUST DIES AND I HAVE TO JUMP START IT AND WORKS FOR A DAY, THEN STOPS AGAIN...... IT IS SOOOO FRUSTRATED. FOR THE LAST COUPLE MONTH MY CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP AND THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME. SOME TOLD ME RECENTLY TO CHECK FOR ANY RECALLS.

CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON.
